I’ve paid exactly .001% attention to Peterson since I first heard of him – my only source has been Vox Day’s warnings that the goofy professor is a nut job, a socialist, and a con artist. I trust Vox. I trust that Peterson is an unstable lefty.

So it was that I wasn’t at all surprised last weekend when my interview subject, Ms. X, named him as her favorite conservative. The fact of little Benny’s presence was a fitting coincidence.

The interview issue was, of course, Brett Kavanaugh. And now we know what Peterson thinks about that. Thanks again, Vox:

I understand the madman is popular. And he’s being pushed by the MSM – as is Shapiro. That, by itself, should tell you everything.

I really haven’t beyond considering what someone at LRC said about him being a stoic. I don’t think he is, based on the little I’ve heard or read of/by him. Here’s what Vox Day and Alex Jones think:

Alex Jones.

On a not unrelated note: there is such a thing as the Hollingworth gap (VD’s 2 sd gap). It’s real and nowhere does it manifest more evidently than in social media comments (sometimes). Read a few of the remarks by Peterson’s fans after Alex’s video for examples.

I’ve had two published articles lately, one concerning a usual topic and one on pop culture, wherein this phenomenon manifested itself in the associated comments. I may address that directly later. I suppose it’s probably a waste of time (like so many social media comments [not yours!]).

Again, this concept is real. It partly explains why I watch almost no television; I literally cannot understand the stupidity (or can’t waste the energy to do so). It explains why the YT commenters from Peterson’s defense brigade don’t get Vox’s dissertation; they literally cannot understand what he’s saying.

If you understand what I just wrote, then you’re “in range.” If not, then here’s a picture of a rabbit in a shoe:
